Grading Practice & Policy
Grades are official marks evaluating students' participation in classes, grasp of ideas and knowledge in the subject presented, and ability to demonstrate understanding of course material. While faculty assign grades, the Office of the Registrar sets the policy for maintaining a clear and orderly record of students' academic performance through grade transcripts.
